The Pipeline

Strategy to trade — five stages

Origin

Strategy Analysis

GAT trades a defined XAUUSD strategy with explicit entry conditions, stop-loss levels and take-profit targets. Every setup must pass the system's validation rules before a single order is placed on your account.

Validation Layer

Decision Engine

Each potential trade is validated against risk parameters — checking entry, stop-loss, and take-profit values before any instruction is passed further. Incomplete or invalid setups are rejected automatically.

Execution

Trade Execution

Once a setup passes validation, the software places the order on your MT5 account — sizing the position from your own balance and risk settings, with a stop-loss and take-profit attached from the outset.

Execution Engine

MT5 Expert Advisor (MQL5)

The EA receives the instruction, applies local risk rules (lot sizing, account balance checks), and fires the order directly into your Vantage Markets MT5 account. Stop-loss and take-profit are set automatically.

Result

Live Trade on Your Account

A real order is placed on your brokerage account. The EA continues monitoring the trade — trailing the stop-loss, partially closing, or exiting — based on the strategy rules. Everything is logged on your VPS.

What the EA actually does

Continuous Monitoring

The software watches the market continuously while MT5 is running and acts on a qualifying setup without any manual trigger.

Risk Management

Every order is placed with a stop-loss and take-profit attached. The EA enforces these — protecting the account from runaway losses.

Dynamic Lot Sizing

Calculates the correct position size based on your account balance and the preconfigured risk-per-trade percentage.

Trade Management

Beyond entry — the EA can trail stops, partially close positions, and adapt to updated strategy instructions, all without your involvement.

License-Locked

Each EA is bound to a specific MT5 account number and our server. It cannot be copied or run on an unauthorized account.

Full Logging

Every action — instruction received, order placed, trade closed — is written to a local log file on your VPS for complete auditability.

Trading Approach

XAUUSD — one instrument, deep expertise

GAT focuses exclusively on XAUUSD (Gold). Specialising in a single instrument allows the automation system to apply deeper, more consistent rule-based analysis than a broad multi-asset approach.

Trades are generated by our automated strategy system — analyzing price action, key levels, macroeconomic drivers (inflation, USD strength, geopolitics), and London/New York session dynamics.

No — that's the entire point. Once the EA is installed on your VPS, it operates completely autonomously. The VPS runs 24/7 and the EA continuously monitors market conditions and executes trades according to the strategy rules. You don't need to leave your computer on, watch charts, or take any action.

A live MetaTrader 5 account with one of the brokers we support. You pick yours from a list when you create your account, and your licence is issued against that account. The software has to know how your broker names its symbols and handles execution, which is why the list is fixed — if yours is not on it, contact us before subscribing.

Your funds stay in your own brokerage account. GAT never holds, moves, or has direct access to them. The software is only permitted to open, modify and close trades inside MetaTrader 5. You keep full control and can disable it or withdraw at any time.

No. We walk you through every step — broker account, VPS, MT5 installation, and loading the EA. We provide a detailed written guide and you can message us via Telegram or email if you get stuck. Setup typically takes less than a day once your accounts are open.

Typically 4–6 trades per week, depending on market conditions. Some weeks have more, some fewer, and a quiet week is normal rather than a fault. Every trade is placed with a stop-loss and a take-profit, and risk per trade is yours to set. All trading carries risk: there will be losing trades, losing weeks and losing months. Please read the full Risk Disclosure.

GAT is a paid software licence: $118 per month, or $59 per month once we have verified your account with a supported partner broker. Both plans are the same software — only the price differs, and verification is done by us rather than self-declared. Your subscription includes the EA file, a licence key tied to your MT5 account, the setup guide, and ongoing support and updates. Your broker's spreads and commissions, and any VPS you choose to run, are paid to those providers and are not included.

GAT may receive partner or introducing-broker remuneration when an eligible user opens or uses an account through the supported partner route. This arrangement does not give GAT access to client funds and does not guarantee any trading result. See Plans & Pricing for full detail.
